Lucy
Lucy moved to New Zealand in 2014 with her husband and daughter, and the family later welcomed two more children here. She has studied, worked and lived in China, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. She now teaches Chinese part-time, volunteers part-time for a charity, and works in senior professional recruitment and executive search.
A native Mandarin speaker with fluent English, Lucy lives in the lifestyle area near Palmerston North, where she and her family enjoy fresh air, quiet surroundings and convenient access to the city. Her family, teaching, volunteering and recruitment experience help her listen carefully, identify important needs and help clients explain the life and relationship they genuinely want.

叶子 (Leaf)
Leaf is from China. More than ten years ago, while she was still living in China, friends introduced her to a Chinese migrant who was already living in New Zealand—the man who is now her second husband. They got to know each other across countries and through sustained communication before she later moved to New Zealand, where they built a happy and fulfilling family life. Her own experience gives her personal insight into starting again, a marriage introduced through friends, cross-border relationships, sustained communication and rebuilding family life in New Zealand.
She speaks Mandarin, Hakka and Cantonese, with limited English. In New Zealand she developed a strong interest in golf, regularly takes part in local amateur club activities and has achieved strong results on many occasions. Warm, direct and attentive, she helps with candidate contact, mutual consent, meeting coordination and feedback.
